C95

Since that day, Xia Yichen seemed to have disappeared, and did not reappear in front of Gu Xiaoqi for a long time.

In fact, Xiao Qi did not have the spare energy to pay attention to Xia Yichen.

"Xiao Qi, have a good trip and also send an understanding letter." Shen Waner's face turned ugly, this was already the fifth letter she received this week.

"How many are left?"

Wan-Er looked through the email, and finally said with difficulty, "Except for the plan to save the planet, there's nothing else."

"Since they don't want my money, then let's do as they say." Gu Xiaoqi said with neither sadness nor happiness.

After the establishment of the studio, she invested a lot of money into plays, such as TV dramas, movies and so on.

But after her "scandal", the film crew appointed lawyers to demand that she be released. Not only did they not want her money, they even wanted to compensate her.

It was really her first time seeing a film crew that refused money outside their door. Thinking back to when they asked for money, she felt that it was really laughable.

"But if all of them were to break off, we would only have Planet left in our possession." Shen Waner disagreed, it was the first time she was in such a situation.

In the entertainment circle, the rich had always been the rich. The investors' status had always been above the directors and actors, unless they were producers who had been famous for many years without a lack of money, only then would they be qualified to negotiate with the investors.

She, Gu Xiaoqi, had created a special river.

No projects, no scenes to shoot, the studio empty.

"Xiao Qi, what do we do now?" Liu Qianyu asked timidly.

In the past, with Ninth Master supporting her, Xiao Qi ran amok in the circle. Now, when she saw Xiao Qi "out of favor", she quickly rushed over to ruin him.

"It's fine, I'm here!" After saying that, Gu Xiaoqi dialed a number that she had not called for a long time.

"Hello?" After a while, someone answered.

"Director Lin, it's me, Gu Xiaoqi."

"Yes, is something the matter?" Lin Xi asked in an indifferent tone, which was very consistent with his personality.

"I have a movie with me that I want to invite you to be my director. I don't know when you'll have the time, but I'll treat you to a meal." Gu Xiaoqi lowered her attitude, looking amiable and amiable.

But Lin Xi did not plan to give her a way out, "Sorry, I don't have much time left."

He lied.

The movie that Gu Xiaoqi invested in just finished its release, and the reaction it got was pretty good. Lin Xi should still be on vacation right now, he did not have to choose a book. However, he didn't even want to feign it and refused. He didn't even intend to look at the book.

Now, it was really the turn of the tides.

It was just that after Gu Xiaoqi left the crew, she invested her resources into Lin Xi, regardless of the previous hatred.

However, Lin Xi could be considered to have repaid the debt of gratitude.

"I'm sorry, I still have something to do." After Lin Xi finished speaking, he did not wait for Gu Xiaoqi's response and directly hung up the phone.

After that, Gu Xiaoqi made a few calls, they were all directors that she had interacted with before, although they all rejected her, they were all very gentle, making it easy for people to accept.

This made Lin Xi seem more like an ingrate.

The call went round and failed. Gu Xiaoqi had a lot of money now, but no director was willing to take over.

She was like a hen holding a golden egg, yet she was living in the desert and no one cared about her.

However, heaven never bars one's way, just when Gu Xiaoqi herself was about to give up, a person took the initiative and came looking for him.

"Director Zhao?" The one who came was none other than Zhao Zhen.

He had won the Best Director for the Hundred Blossom Award with "Tracking". Recently, he had been in the limelight and had heard that countless people would visit him every day, begging him to take part in a movie with money held in their hands.

"I heard you're looking for the director?" Zhao Zhen was still as straightforward as always, and never dragged his feet, "I'm here."

"Director Zhao." Gu Xiaoqi glanced at Shen Waner, and seeing the other party's fawning smile, she immediately understood, "Director Zhao, I really want to thank you for your help. "Um, do you know what movie I'm going to make?"

Gu Xiaoqi almost pointed at Zhao Zhen's nose and said, you, a director of an art movie who got the Hundred Flowers Awards, coming here to make some business movies, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?

Furthermore, she did not think highly of Zhao Zhen. Although he was very talented, but he was too young, and had no experience shooting business movies.

The corner of Zhao Zhen's mouth curved, and he forced out a somewhat ugly smile, "Do you have a better choice than me?"

No.

Gu Xiaoqi replied in her heart.

She had contacted all the famous commercial film directors in the country, but none of them were willing to accept it. It was not like she wanted to hand over this piece to a foreigner, it looked like Zhao Zhen was indeed her best choice.

Thinking about this, Gu Xiaoqi was convinced by herself, "Director Zhao, thank you. I'll send you the script. "

"No need, I've already read the book." Zhao Zhen looked like he needed a beating, "Don't tell me you think I'm here to take care of this before I even read the script?"

Gu Xiaoqi, "..." Sure enough, Zhao Zhen's mouth was not suitable for words, so the emotions that had just risen in her heart disappeared just like that.

Once the director was appointed, the preparations for the movie were half completed.

However, that half was no easier than finding a director.

Previously, Gu Xiaoqi had stirred up many "trouble", offending half of the people in the entertainment circle. There was not a single young woman in the industry who did not hate Gu Xiaoqi, so in such a large entertainment circle, she could not even find a pleasing female lead.

"Gu Xiaoqi, you are truly a troublesome person." Zhao Zhen picked the corner of the street for the whole morning, he was so angry that his face turned green.

He had clearly been looking for a proper and upright female lead who exuded a valiant air. In the end, however, all that had come had been some kind of crooked melon and split jujube.

They did not dare to cry or laugh. Zhao Zhen was even afraid that they would lose their nose in the middle of the filming.

Gu Xiaoqi stayed by Zhao Zhen's side the whole time, so she knew that there was someone who was trying to disgust her.

Didn't you, Gu Xiaoqi, scorn plastic surgery? Isn't this natural beauty?

For the next few days, the situation did not improve at all. Even some of the netizens dared to look down on the film crew.

There was no way to proceed without the actors.

"How about Xiao Qi act it herself?" Shen Waner spoke out the thought that had been bottled up in her heart for a long time.

The others in the room also looked at her, but Gu Xiaoqi thought about it and still rejected, "I can't."

Although the audience's excitement had died down, they still didn't necessarily want to buy the movie she had invested in. She wasn't afraid of someone discrediting the film crew behind the scenes and setting up a scandal, but she couldn't bring the entire crew to gamble.

"Wan-Er, are you interested in acting?" Gu Xiaoqi raised her head and looked at Shen Waner with a serious expression.

"I-I'll do this …" The female elite in the western pants seemed to have become that soft and bullying, unconfident bullying again.

It had been a long time since she had been like this.

Ever since she left the Shen family's prison, she tried her best to lose weight and replenish knowledge. She went from an inexperienced Xiao Bai to a reputable broker in the industry. Some people started to respectfully call her Big Sister Wan'er.

"Wan-Er, tell me, do you want to be the female lead?" Gu Xiaoqi asked again.

Back then, when Shen Waner was in school, she was a rare top student. However, because of her image, she rarely had the chance to play an important role.

But no matter how small the character was, after her deduction, it became wonderful.

To support Wan-Er was part of her plan. However, it was too early.

Shen Waner showed hesitation on her face, but quickly strengthened, "I want to act."

"Alright." Gu Xiaoqi laughed, in these many days, this was the first time she smiled from the bottom of her heart.

"Director Zhao, we've found the female lead."

Zhao Zhen's small eyes swept across Shen Waner like searchlights. Ten minutes later, he uttered almost imperceptibly, "Mmm."

Before Shen Waner could rejoice, Zhao Zhen continued, "Reduce another twenty catties."

At this time, Shen Waner had already lost a lot of weight. She was 1.7 meters tall and weighed 130 kilograms.

But this was still far from Zhao Zhen's requirements. He didn't have to worry about becoming skinnier and more muscular, in order to be able to get close to the image of the female soldier in the movie.

The high intensity training made Shen Waner extremely bitter, but she did not complain at all. In just half a month, she had been reborn.

In this period of time, Zhao Zhen had found the male lead, who was recommended by Ji An.

The person was called Wu Yong. He was in his early thirties and had short hair, revealing a well-defined face. This was a man's actor, but not in line with the mainstream aesthetic.

Right now, everyone was fond of youngsters with fair skin and delicate facial features. This type of "mature" actor barely had a market.

But Zhao Zhen liked it.

He always looks at acting when he chooses an actor, not at his looks.

After deciding on the male lead, it was as if the crew of《 Planet》 had opened. Their originally stagnant characters became lively again, allowing Zhao Zhen to pick a few good seedlings.

Gu Xiaoqi looked at the email Zhao Zhen sent over and fell into deep thought.

Previously, the actors came in batches, so she didn't see any problems with them. Now that they were put together, it was easy to see that several actors belonged to the same agency.

And this management company was inextricably linked to Mu Family Group.

Gu Xiaoqi could not help but laugh. She said that it was not such a coincidence, it turns out that the entire night of transportation was all thanks to Mu Liancheng, the big golden carp.

Silently accepting the gift, Gu Xiaoqi secretly returned the gesture.

That night, Mu Liancheng dragged his exhausted body home only to see Nanny Wang taking the big box and walking over.

"Ninth Master sent this to you."

Xiao Qi? Mu Liancheng's eyes lit up. He somewhat anxiously lifted the lid, took a glance, and then quickly closed it!

Mu Liancheng's face was cold, but he was unable to cover up his flushed ears.

He chased away the Nanny Wang and quietly opened the box.

Inside was an exquisite tailcoat. The black cloth was embroidered with lace, and it was also outlined with golden threads. It looked very noble and elegant.

It didn't matter. What mattered was that there was a pink bow and a long pink tail on the top of the dress.

Mu Liancheng, "..." What was Xiao Qi doing!?
